Myatt Vintage Open Comb Razor

I bought this off Ebay a while ago, the picture wasn't the best but I took a punt and was pleasantly surprised.
On arrival it was in better condition than I expected though it obviously needed a good clean and sterilizing.
Here's the before pictures;


As it arrived in a '7'o'Clock razor Bakelite box.


out of the box in it's component parts and not looking too bad.


and the reverse side with makers marks.



In it's box after a thorough clean and polish along with some unopened 7 'o' clock blades.


cleaned component parts.

top view, the handle may not be correct? the overall weight is good and it's one of three daily razors that are used in rotation, it actually shaves really well as many 'open comb' razors do.
Myatt were a Birmingham based manufacturer, W. J. Myatt & Co. Ltd. of Graham St who appeared to cease trading around 1947?
